At the end of her talk show, the “Wendy Williams Show,” the host acted unpredictably.

Now, Williams is in a facility to address such issues as alcohol addiction and struggling with her mental health, memory and ability to effectively communicate — and she’s getting better.

Williams’ family spoke exclusively to People about her struggles the past three years. Lifetime is releasing a new documentary, “Where Is Wendy Williams?”

Williams currently has a court-appointed legal guardian, who oversees her finances and health decisions. The documentary, which premieres Feb. 24, was filmed between 2022 and 2023.

People spoke with her sister Wanda Finnie and niece Alex Finnie, who say that while some scenes are hard to watch, Williams is doing better.

“I spoke with her yesterday and I speak with her very regularly when she reaches out to me. She is, from what I understand, in a wellness, healing type of environment,” Wanda Finni told People of the unknown facility Williams is in.

Any communication has to be initiated by Williams because of “a lack of communication with Williams’ guardian,” People reported.

“We cannot reach out to her, but she can reach out to us. And she is in a healing place emotionally. She’s not the person that you see in this film,” Wanda Finni said.

Alex Finni is proud of what her aunt has accomplished.

“I’m proud of my aunt for taking control of her narrative because my aunt has always been such a public person and has been an open book, and we’ve all seen the images over the last few months and really few years of what has been like a spiral for my aunt,” she said.

Williams is an executive producer for the documentary. 

“So for her to actually put her voice in here and take ownership of what’s happened, where she’s at present day… I think it’s powerful,” Alex Finni told People.

And Williams has come a long way from the time in the documentary.

“I don’t know what is working, but I do know that when she did reach out to me, it was a person who is remarkably different than what we see in that documentary,” said Wanda Finni.
